The master’s thesis is about health resort in the Kopačnica valley, the area of the sulfur thermal water deposit. Sulfur containing water has a healing effect, especially for the treatment of skin diseases. The municipality of Gorenja vas - Poljane wants to develop the mentioned area into tourist destination. Master’s thesis proposes arrangement of a small sustainable health resort, according to the properties of thermal water. The various methods of spa treatment, presented in the master’s thesis, are included in the external spatial arrangement of the Kopačnica complex, with the program largely taking place in the open. The principles of sustainable planning are taken into account. As wastewater is a burning issue of health resorts, this master’s thesis focuses on the appropriate solution. An energy efficiency plan has been prepared for the purpose of efficient use of energy sources. The proposed concept of the new arrangement includes spatial solutions to the existing problems of degraded points, which the master’s thesis identifies as problematic through spatial analyzes - degraded quarry, abandoned farm and test pool. For degraded points technical solutions are provided, supported by the selection of plant material. Due to the selection of autochthonous and traditional species, the adaptation to the topography and the withdrawal of new facilities, the overall image of the health resort is in harmony with the surroundings. The various roles played by vegetation simultaneously rehabilitate degraded areas, build space and use their spa function to treat skin diseases. The result is a proposal for the arrangement of the health resort complex, which in accordance with the principles of sustainable management, offers a variety of therapeutic activities for the treatment of skin diseases, accommodation and an accompanying program, which promotes active involvement of users in spa treatment.
